But it's better than Astrology.

I'm INTJ. Which basically means I'm a big mean jerk who says all sorts of mean jerkish things. Like how you are seriously starting to look like the hero of Kung Fu Panda. Or that everything that comes out of your mouth is incomprehensible garble.

I'll try to work on saying the truth less bluntly if everyone else starts to make any sense whatsoever.

Comment on your MBTI type below and try to be amusing about it!

The MBTI system is by no means perfect. Far from it.
That isn't to say that it does not have its merits however.
It must be said though that the MBTI isn't a so called "personality test/quiz".
It is more of an evaluator/assessment sorter that defines how you gather, process and
act on the information from the world around you.

I.E: Though an INTJ and INTP may be listed as the stereotypical smart guy, it does not mean that the person
who has this type may be smart necessarily. Sure, perhaps in one area maybe. But the MBTI system has its flaws that must be taken into account
along with other factors and information from other similar assessment tools like the Ennaegramn, the Big Five, and so forth.

To me, the MBTI is a sort of tertiary/auxiliary assessment that should be used in conjunction with other systems that catalog other variables.
I.E: The Ennegramn would seem more along the line of defining core personality, where as the MBTI lays out processes of that.
It should also be noted that all systems are designed by humans, and will inherently have flaws that come with it, one way or another.


The MBTI also has some difficulties in account for when people may hold equal or near equal similarities between two or more so called "personality types."

I myself am a INTP/Ennegramn Type 5 for example. Though I am primarily an INTP, like the Ennegramn, I also have support/tertiary types as wings.
Those would be the ISTP and INTJ respectively.
